A Woman Died From Curable Cancer Because She Didn't Realize She Qualified For Obamacare

It's hard to imagine even in these uncertain times that anyone
could lose their life for lack of proper healthcare.

CNN's Stephanie Smith tells the heartbreaking
story of Leslie Elder, a 63-year-old Florida woman who recently
died of Hodgkin's lymphoma––a disease her family says could have
been cured with proper treatment.

"Elder's family spent her final months fighting for Medicaid,
with no clue that they qualified for Florida's high-risk pool,"
Smith reports.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma is "one of the most curable forms of cancer,"
according to the U.S. National
Library of Medicine. "With the right treatment, more
than 90% of people with stage I or II Hodgkin's lymphoma survive
for at least 10 years."

It may be too late for Elder, but others can find out if they
qualify for PCIP here: PCIP.gov.
